Looking for Monday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey there, everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start. I just realized how many video games I have to cram in before writing my best of 2023 list and, uh, it’s a daunting list. I’d best get cracking on those, so without further ado, today’s Connections hints and answers are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
In Connections, you’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb or rappers.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce. The purple group often involves wordplay, so bear that in mind.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers.

Connections Answers For November 7

This is your final warning!

I’m back to winning ways after almost getting a perfect game today.
This was a rare case of me getting the purple words first. I spend a large chunk of my time writing about technology, so I spotted those four Microsoft products quickly. I got the green group next. On a related note, one of my favorite Scottish words is “clipe,” which means to tell on someone.
I then made my only mistake of the day (at least as far as Connections is concerned). I rushed into things by choosing the remaining rhyming words: DING, PING, RING and WING. After realizing my error, I got the yellow words and sealed the win with the blue group.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Wednesday’s game if you need them.
